A REAL WASHER.
How a Young Blood With $4,000
Year Lives in New York.

How Young Blood With $4,000
Year Lives in New York.
New York Sun.
Some years ago capitalist talked to
me about erecting an apartment house
and wished me to take charge of it. L
suggested that it be devoted entirely to
bachelors, and it was put under my di-
rectiOn. 1t has paid 16 and Is per cent.
ever since. An apartment on the first
floor was picked out before the house
was put up by one of the most accom-
plished and indefatigable Washers in
New York. He has an income of $1,000
year. He is sometimes referred to
as the man who never sleeps. He lives
on the surface of the town, is out every
night at the opera or theater, and par
AIDES Broadway and Fifth avenue, when
they are crowded to their highest ca
pacity. He eats at the most prominent
windows of all the restaurants, and his
cool gray eye is ever ON the alert when
women are abroad. His remittance
comes in on the 1st of every January.
He then sits down and pays his rent for
a year in advance, discharges ali of his
obligations, and starts out to enjoy life.
The money generally lasts him seven or
eight months, although have known it
to give out in less time than that occas-
.ionally during the past ten years. When
he gets to a point where he has not a
cent left he comes home, writes a few
letters of adieu to his closest friends,
and ostensibly goes to Europe or the
West. In reality he goes to bed. The
servants in the house tell me that for
months at time he does not leave the
building, and very often for a week or
two he will lie in bed constantly read
ing French novels or tinkling a banjo.
During these periods of forced seciu-
sion. he never touches a drop of liquor,
has no visitors, and is apparently as
curious thing is that he has gone on do
ing this year after year, and nobody an
parently has found it out.

A STRING OF FISH TALES.

Some Strange Stories of the Best
Bait in an Emergency.
A story is told of a wonderful catch
made with snakes tail near Reading
the other day, but that was neither so
curious nor so unusual as the experience
of a man in this city, says the Harris
burg Patriot.
In company with number of gentle
men employed on the hill he visited the
popular resort in Lebanon county. He
had provided himself with rods, lines,
hooks and other materials in profusiop.
but when he reached the bank of the
crystal stream discovered that he had
no bait. A less reSourceful person
would no doubt have sent to the hotel
for bottle of Highspire, but the gem
tleman in question adopted no such ex-
pedient. He seated himself on the bank,
took off his shoes. pared his corn and
put the -paringS on his hook. To his
great surprise the fish bit with ayidity.
and in short time he returned to the
hotel with handsome string of bass.
A gentleman who listened to the mar
ration of that sto4y yesterday afternoon
remarked that it is strange what fancieS
the fish take. He was trout fishing a
short time ago at one of the mountain
streams in Luzerne county. After
whipping the stream aSsiduously until
all his flies were gone and his stock of
worms exhausted, he looked disconso-
lately into an empty creel and lamented
the i'll luck which had attended his eff
forts. just then his eye caught rich.
round, blue huekleberry which was
adjoining a neighboring bush.
The thought struck him that it might
serve for bait, and plucking it from the
bush he put it on the hook and made
cast. Almost Immediately there was
rise, and he pulled in fine trout which
weighed pound and a half. The fish
was speedily taken off and the throw re-
peated with the same success. In less
than half an hour he had fifteen trout
in his creel, ranging from six ounces to
two pounds each. all caught with the
one huekleberry, which establishes the
berry as the most desirable trout bait,
though it has the drawback that the
trout season is over as a rule before
huckleberries are generally ripe.

much of the amateur about it to be con-

which our Birmingham representative
has tasted and declares to be most
appetizing and tasty food: "Lentils, 5
pounds; Indian meal, pounds; Scotch
barley (ground), pounds; carrots and
onions, pounds; salt, pound; pepper,
4 ounce; water, 10 gallons, and some
dried mint. Though meat is not ell
tirely excluded from all the soups, it is
found that the food is much more at
tractive, as well as more digesti-
bic, for the children, when no meat
enters into It's composition. Some
of the results achieved by the
cheap dinners in Birmingham are
quite startling. They readily fall under
three heads-physical, educational and
moral. Most of the children fed have
lost the pinched, starved appearance
they had before the commencement of
the work. A few boys from the poorest
schools were found early i'll December
to be 81 per cent, under normal height
and Az per cent. under normal weight
they were one and two-thirds years be-
midland in growth. -Four months
later, after a regular course of dinners,
the boys were again examined, and it
was learned that their rate of growth,
both in height and weight, was rather
above the normal rate.

A Girl Breaks Her Engagement to
Run Off With Her Uncle and

COlored circles at Centralia, Ill.,, have
been thrown into state of intense eX-
element by the discovery of the elope-
ment of Miss Lucy B. Williams, hand
some and dusky damsel of some seven
teen summers, with her uncle. James
Wallace, sturdy colored gentleman of
that city. Both belong to the colored
elite of the city, and their departure
filled the bOSOmS of the parents with
CONSERVATION and sent the irate father
of the fleeing girl in hot pursuit.
The baggage of the parties had all
been previously packed, and just be-
fore the 8 p. m. train departed for Chi
cago the trunks were taken from the
house in the absence of the parents by
parties posted as to the premises, and
moved off the clippers were seen to step
on board. Miss Williams left a little
girl on the platform, who spread the
news of the flight. Attempts were made
to intercept the parties as soon as their
destination was aScertained, but sue
cess did not crown their efforts
until the train arrived at Champaign,
where they were arrested and lodged in
Jail to await the requiSition of the au-
thoritieS here. Wallace has been pay
ing more attention to the young lady
than uncles usually show their nieces.
During the past year he has been in
Missouri most of the time, and in his
absence Miss Williams became engaged
to one Lee Long, and was expected to
marry hin at an early day, but on the
return of Wallace, month or so ago,
this engagement was broken off and the
uncle took the place in the girls affec-
lions occupied by Long.

lady and her company all the way to
Stratford-on-Ayon to play in the theater
in Shakespeare'S native town.
The magic of the place did not, how
ever, work in Miss Anderson's favor on
that occasion. The poor London critics
who had been hidden down to that
dramatic feast, and whose expenses the
enterpernneur had wished to pay. were
mild i'll their praise, but loud in their
denunciation of the labor attending
their critical duties. When she played
it in this city on her last visit she failed
to satisfy even her warmest admirers.
Rose COghlan is decidedly the most
dashing Rosalind the New York stage
has ever possessed. When she has once
put on the masculine garb she seems
supremacy happy. She moves in per-
feet freedom and assumes graceful and
manly attitudes with confidence per-
fectly enjoyable. Sometimes, it is true,
she seems to forget that she is only a
woman, but yet is never unwOmanly or
coarse. 1t is but the eXuberance of en-
1uysnent, slightly marring the more
dainty potS,v of the part. Wherever

Anna Cora Mowatt played the part

A MATHEMATICAL WASP.
He Measures a Dead Spider for a
Burial Plot.

While sitting one summer day at the
side of the house on platform which
served as piazza, but was rooted only
by the branches of two large trees, some
thing dropped upon my head and rolled
into my lap, when l saw large white
bodied spider in the clutches of small
wasp, writes a correspondent of the
Owl. Hastily brushing these uncere-
monious visitors to the floor, watched
to see if the wasp would succeed in fly
ing away with his huge enemy.
After a struggle the spider lay quiet,
and the wasp ran around, seizing first
one part, then another, but finally went
away, as 1 supposed, for help. In
about quarter of an hour he returned,
still alone, and began trying again, as |
thought, to find some place by which he
could seize the round body and carry it
away. Again he departed without his
spider.
This time watched him and saw him
disappear at the edge of the lawn under
pear tree, and following, found him,
after some searching, diligently at work
with another wasp charging hole in
the ground, having already thrown out
quite little mound of earth.
